Описание: Shamanic Voyages of Self-Discovery is a compilation of shamanic healing journeys that will awaken within you a deeper, more personal exploration of your own path to healing and empowerment. In our fast-paced, seemingly upside-down world, it is becoming increasingly more pressing to find our own sense of self and balance. What makes this book remarkable is that it offers first-hand experience. Ms. Charland--a shamanic practitioner, ordained inter-spiritual minister, and professional change management consultant--brings us a selection of teachings and wisdom from shamanic journeys she has done for herself and on behalf of her clients over the past 20 years. Using the ancestral traditional method of shamanic journeying to connect with spirit animals, guides, and teachers, Ms. Charland shows us how she has helped her clients to awaken and reconnect with their own power and find a sense of purpose and meaning. From a shamanic perspective, healing is about becoming whole and in harmony with self, the other, the community, and the planet. Shamanic healing is experiential, the shamanic practitioner serving as a veritable bridge or portal to other realms and realities. Although each journey in this book provides specific teachings and wisdom for each client which reflects that individual's unique path and self-transformation, these healing stories are universal. As you read each personal tale of power and transformation, you will begin to move your own healing energy, and you will trigger your own journey to spiritual maturity and self-transformation.

Captain Cook is generally acknowledged as the first great European scientific explorer. Despite his ordinary roots, he rose through the ranks to become a remarkable officer. On May 27, 1768, Cook, then just a Royal Naval lieutenant, took command of HM bark Endeavour. Its voyage of exploration to the Pacific would last almost three years, record thousands of miles of uncharted lands and seas--including New Zealand, the east coast of Australia and many Pacific islands--and test all Cook's skills as a navigator, seaman and leader. Cook's three voyages were among the first to take civilian scientists, notably Sir Joseph Banks, and they would reveal to European eyes the lands, peoples, flora and fauna of the Pacific as never before, heralding a period of great change for the region. His voyages would also set new standards for scientific enquiry and exploration.
But while the figure of Cook understandably dominates the story of 18th-century Pacific exploration, his fame has often shadowed those who followed him on many voyages of science and exploration into the Pacific, depriving these explorers of the greater attention they deserve. Correcting this imbalance, Pacific Encounters reveals the European voyages that continued Cook's work not only of charting but also starting to exploit and control the Pacific. These voyages, by William Bligh, George Vancouver, Matthew Flinders, Malaspina, Lap rouse and Arthur Phillip, span a period that saw Britain becoming the world's leading maritime power, a situation well in place by the time that Charles Darwin's voyage in Fitzroy's Beagle laid the basis of even greater understanding of the development of life on earth.
Recounting and illustrating these achievements and legacies using fascinating text and beautiful illustrations and artworks from the period, this book explores topics of scientific discovery, engagement with indigenous peoples, the use of shipboard artists and scientists, the growing professionalism of the hydrographic service, the vessels used and the colonial, commercial and imperial contexts of the voyages.
Before Captain Cook’s three voyages, to Europeans the globe was uncertain and dangerous; after, it was comprehensible and ordered. Written as a conceptual field guide to the voyages, Longitude and Empire offers a significant rereading of both the expeditions and modern political philosophy. More than any other work, printed accounts of the voyages marked the shift from early modern to modern ways of looking at the world. The globe was no longer divided between Europeans and savages but populated instead by an almost overwhelming variety of national identities.
Cook’s voyages took the fragmented and obscure global descriptions available at the time and consolidated them into a single, comprehensive textual vision. Locations became fixed on the map and the people, animals, plants, and artifacts associated with them were identified, collected, understood, and assimilated into a world order. This fascinating account offers a new understanding of Captain Cook’s voyages and how they affected the European world view.
